Check if the users are members of the local (on the TS) Remote
Desktop Users group.

Also double-check if your TS is still in Per User licensing mode.
There is a bug in 2003, which automatically switches a TS back to
Per Device mode when you have installed another program.

834651 - Terminal Services Licensing mode changes from Per User to
Per Device after you add or remove a Windows component
